Why No Feedlots?

We believe farming should workwith nature, not against it. That’s why we will never confine our cattle to a feedlot or use growth hormones. Instead, we raisegrass-adapted livestocksuited to the Balgowan environment, allowing them to graze freely on open pastures.

We also:

  • Avoid artificial fertilisers and minimise pesticides
  • Focus on building healthy, fertile soils through regenerative practices
  • Farm with a conservation mindset to protect biodiversity

Our goal is simple: produce meat that is raised as nature intended.

Farming Methods

We follow regenerative grazing techniques designed to mimic nature’s own cycles. Usinghigh-density, short-duration grazing, our herd is moved to fresh pasture up to six times a day.

More About Regenerative Farming

This method allows:

  • Pastures to rest and regenerate naturally
  • Soil fertility to improve without chemicals
  • Livestock to thrive in a stress-free, natural environment

The result? Healthier animals, healthier land, and nutrient-dense, flavoursome meat.

Our Commitment

We remain dedicated to farming with integrity:

  • No feedlots
  • No growth hormones
  • Ethical, transparent, and environmentally conscious practices

Raising livestock this way takes time and patience – but we believe you’ll taste the difference in every bite of Balgowan Beef.
